Warkworth Extension

The Warkworth Extension is a possible extension to the Mount Thorley Warkworth mine near Singleton in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. The mine is operated by Coal & Allied.

The company states that in April 2008 Coal & Allied the land is owned by the company and is within the existing lease area for the Mount Thorley Warkworth mine. "Coal & Allied is applying for the Warkworth extension which would take the operation further west within its existing mining lease, and add a further 21 years of operation to the mine."
